UCL's Department of Mathematics plays a leading international role: for example it was the UK centre for the European network in high-dimensional geometry. The department runs the Lighthill Institute, is a member of the UCL Institute of Origins and works closely with the mathematical biology group CoMPLEX. The Clinical Operations Research Unit (CORE) is based in the department. Students benefit from our leading role in the London Taught Course Centre for PhD students in the Mathematical Sciences, enabling them to study outside the realms of their research degree. Members of the department edit the highly regarded research journal Mathematika, published by the London Mathematical Society
